Top-Rated Chiropractor in Boston, MA
At Boston Spine and Performance, we go beyond the quick adjustment. Our Doctors of Chiropractic combine hands-on manual therapy, dry needling, and strength training in every 45-minute one-on-one session — so you get back to doing what you love, faster and stronger than before.
Still in Pain After Trying Everything?
Generic adjustments, endless rest, and one-size-fits-all PT can leave you frustrated and sidelined. If your pain keeps coming back, the problem isn't you — it's the approach.
Treated the Symptom, Not the Source
Short appointments and cookie-cutter protocols manage your pain temporarily but never address why it started — so it keeps returning every few weeks.
Told to Rest When You Want to Train
Being benched from the gym, your run, or your sport isn't a recovery plan. You need a provider who builds your program around your training, not against it.
Bounced Between Providers, No Clear Plan
Seeing a chiropractor here, a PT there, and a massage therapist in between wastes time and money. You deserve a single comprehensive session and a clear path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your first visit to our Boston chiropractic clinic.
Do you accept insurance?
Boston Spine and Performance is a cash-based practice with transparent, straightforward pricing. We do not bill insurance directly, which means no referrals, no pre-authorizations, and no surprise bills — just clear pricing and one-on-one care. Many patients find that the depth and efficiency of our sessions makes cash-based care the better value.
How is this different from a regular chiropractor or physical therapist?
Most chiropractic visits last 10–15 minutes and involve a quick adjustment before you're out the door. At Boston Spine and Performance, every session is 45 minutes of dedicated, one-on-one time with your Doctor of Chiropractic — combining manual therapy, dry needling, strength and rehab work, and recovery strategies in a single comprehensive visit. No rotating between providers, no generic protocols.
Do I need a referral to book an appointment?
No referral is needed. You can book directly, and we encourage you to start with a free discovery call so we can learn about your situation and confirm we're the right fit before your first session.
